[FIXED] DWM crashes when a message comes from Steam

[bykaracivi45TR]

UPDATE: With the lastest Aero Glass (v1.5.11), all problems are fixed. Thanks @bigmuscle 😉👍

 

Hello. I'm using Windows 10 v1809 (17763.194) and Aero Glass v1.5.10. When I receive a message from the Steam app, the icon is blinking in the start menu. Each time I click the icon, the screen goes up and repeats it 3 times and the DWM collapses completely and Aero Glass is disabled. Does anyone know any solution to this?

Please, refer to the end of the following topic, it is probably the same issue.

Please, could you test how this build behaves?

I tried this file and found some bugs. I hope it helps for your new version. 

* The schema error when trying to make full screen by dragging windows to the top of the screen.

* White color bug on Google Chrome's tab edges.

 

* A white shadow bug that appears as a line on the top of the aero glass when full screen windows. (No problem when minimize!)

I just wanted to chime in that I have the same problem albeit slightly differently. Whenever a Steam message comes in and I hover over the Steam icon in my Taskbar, whenever the aero-preview comes up my GPU driver crashes and restores immediately, Glass8 stays functioning however. I'm running Glass8 1.5.10 on 1809 with a GTX 1070 and 417.35 drivers.

Actually, it's the same problem. I'm also using the GTX 1050 and 416.81 driver version.

Good to know I'm not alone. @bigmuscle can we do anything to help fix this? I noticed it happens with Photoshop too in the Aero-preview, DWM.exe crashes for a moment.

Same here. 1809, LTSC

 

Had Firefox, Steam, Discord, Winamp and VMWare running mostly. Happened two times in timespan of a few minutes, then nothing.

 

Wasnt doing anything with Discord or Steam, nor had I any messages come in.

Are you guys using the beta version from http://glass8.eu/beta ? Use this one before reporting issues. The older versions have known stability issues.

The same problem in the beta version, too. We need more stable version. Especially for 1809 (RS5).

I see. Either way...

Yes, uploading the crash dump (minidump file) that is usually generated after the crash (unless something goes wrong) and stored in C:\AeroGlass folder is always a good idea.

For NVIDIA driver crashes, you may want to ask for help on GeForce forums if updating to latest drivers doesn't solve it.

I see, where should I upload them to? I noticed the same DWM crashes happening when I ALT+TAB with PS4 Remote Play active. I'll use the beta version temporarily on the weekend as I do not want to run it permanently because of the watermark and debug-window.

 

Updating the drivers didn't help.

Any cloud storage provider would do, things like MEGA, Dropbox, Microsoft OneDrive, Google Drive, etc. Also some alternatives.
